Baskerville was one of my favorite fonts to read about. It was created by John Baskerville in
\n1757 and it is now considered to be a transitional typeface. This is because Baskerville displays
\na style that\u2019s between being \u201cmodern\u201d and \u201cold school.\u201d It contains serifs that are bracketed,
\nalong with thin to thick lines. I like this font because of the variation between the thick and thin
\nlines, as it does not have the same look throughout the letter, it makes it more interesting to
\nlook at. The next font, Didot, was created by Firmin Didot in the eighteenth century. In contrast
\nto Baskerville, Didot has no brackets, and has a variety of heavy and thick lines; it does not
\ntransition together in the letter, the thick and thin lines are separate. It accentuates thin
\nvertical lines followed by thick horizontal lines. Didot has a more \u201cstructured\u201d and modern feel,
\nwhile Baskerville has a more elegant look. Even though they are very different, they both have a
\nmodern element to them with the vertical lines being accentuated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
